Foundational & Lifestyle Training Program 

Basic on-leash obedience focusing on real world immersion and proofing in pet-friendly stores, restaurants, events, parks, your home, etc. Your dog learns: sit/stay, down/stay, heel, place, and manners (threshold/crate/food/greeting people). Minimal behavior issues are addressed (e.g., jumping, pulling on-leash, barking, reactivity, door rushing, hyperactivity, etc.).

• Training is divided into 2 weeks. For 7 days, I work individually with your dog to lay a solid foundation of obedience with “real-world” exposure and proofing. In addition, there is one follow-up day or session that can be used within 6 months following graduation, for a total of 8 days/sessions. 

• During the training program, more than ample time will be provided to you to ensure that you learn, get to practice, and receive valuable coaching on everything your dog is being/has been taught. This could be done at the end of each training day or it can be scheduled for another time, if needed. 

• For graduation, you have the option of having a graduation session at a real-world location, E.g., at a pet-friendly store, event, restaurant, park, your home, etc. You get to choose the location!!  

• For the 7 days of individual training, drop off and pick up your dog each morning and evening at the K9 Compass Campus. 

   There are 4 days of this type of training the first week (usually Tuesday - Friday) and 3 days the second week (usually

    Tuesday - Thursday).

A La Day & A La Session Training

This training is for a tune-up or fine-tuning; it will be tailored to meet your specific goals or needs. If your dog has completed basic obedience training but you're struggling in one or some areas, or if you simply want your dog's training to remain "fresh," this is the training for you. It may be as little as one private or day training session; or it may be multiple private or day training sessions. The type and length of training is determined by individual needs/wants and the training strategy.

• PREREQUISITE: At a minimum, your dog MUST have completed the Foundational & Lifestyle Training Program, completed basic obedience training with me previously, OR your dog’s basic obedience foundation must be demonstrated during a consultation. The consultation fee is $30, which will later be applied to the cost of the training.

• If your dog had not been previously trained by me, a consultation is required for this training in order to evaluate your dog and to determine and develop a training strategy.

• If your dog WAS previously trained by me, a consultation may still be required, but the consultation fee will be waived. 

• Depending on your goal(s) for training, your dog may be required to have completed the Off-Leash Training Program (in addition to the Foundational & Lifestyle Training Program or equivalent). For example: your goal is to tune-up your dog’s off-leash reliability for recall.
